Low-fat Raspberry Yogurt Muffins

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Diwali came and went in a blur this year. We had just moved a few weeks earlier and were deep in the midst of settling down in our new neighbourhood. In the midst of unpacking, getting Baby Dear adjusted into his new school, Hubby Dear’s new work schedule and all, a lavish celebration was the last thing on our minds. All we wanted to do was take the time to be thankful for everything that we had. A nice quiet meal, family time together, and lots of love and laughter were all we needed to bring in the festival of lights. And something sweet of course – like these Raspberry Yogurt Muffins. After all, what is Diwali if not for the sweets?

While traditionally, people tend to make the classic Indian desserts loaded with ghee, milk and dried fruits, I for one, never cared for them. I find them cloyingly sweet for my taste and often just give them a pass after a bite or two. This year, however, I wanted to try something different. So I decided to make do with something unconventional.


What can I say, fusion is definitely my thing and love what a mix of cultures can bring to the table. I got started on the baking, and by the time I was done, I had managed to pack neat little baskets filled with an assortment of Brownies, Muffins and Chocolate Cake that I could then share with our new neighbours and friends.

This recipe for Raspberry Yogurt Muffins is a simple and delicious one. What makes it a definite keeper in my book it surely the fact that it contains hardly any fat or sugar, and makes a sizeable batch for our family of three! Since I first tried it, I’ve made it a few times already, each time changing up the berries; and they’ve all been equally good. I now make sure I have a batch in the freezer, ready to warm up in the microwave and serve with a cup of steaming coffee on cold, lazy Saturday mornings. Try it, I promise you won’t regret it!

    I love raspberries and hate that you can hardly ever get them in Pune. Its amazing that there is just 1 Tbsp butter and no other fat. These would be gone in a flash! 🙂

    I love using yogurt in muffins (I even had success with it in cookies once) to make them moist. These look delicious!
